How to find a file in a Zip when the filename is known but not the path.

This VB6 zip component example demonstrates how to find a file within a Zip when the filename is known but not the path. The same methods apply when using the Chilkat Zip library in C#, VB.NET, FoxPro, Delphi, Ruby, Perl, Python, Java, ASP, ASP.NET, C++, etc.

    success = zip.OpenZip("test.zip")
    If (success = 0) Then
        MsgBox zip.LastErrorText
        Exit Sub
    End If
	
    ' We want to find the file "dudeC.gif"
    Dim zipEntry As ChilkatZipEntry2
	
    ' First, see if the exact match exists, without any directory path.
    Set zipEntry = zip.FirstMatchingEntry("dudeC.gif")
	
    ' Now look for any entry with a path.
    If (zipEntry Is Nothing) Then
        Set zipEntry = zip.FirstMatchingEntry("*/dudeC.gif")
    End If
	
    If (zipEntry Is Nothing) Then
        MsgBox "Not found!"
    Else
        MsgBox "Found!"
    End If
